They're Usually Shredded Alive Rule :( - Lemmy

They’re usually shredded alive almost immediately because they’re seen as “waste” since they don’t lay eggs For some more context: Why the egg industry ‘shreds’ baby chicks alive (NSFL) [https://youtu.be/zdvnDHKB7nA]

I have been seeing a lot of animal abuse posts on here lately. I hadn’t noticed 196 being like that in the past on here or Reddit. Is there a trend toward that for this community in general? I’m well aware of how fucked the industry is, but I also don’t sub to this community for that. I am here for little gay people shit posting in my phone. These just make me sad. I can’t personally do anything to stop this. I don’t want to unsub, and there’s not a great way to filter, unless it’s all the same OP? :(

It might still not be popular to be vegan yet, but the movement is growing rapidly. It could be a symptom of a larger trend - that the injustices against non-human animals is too terrible to keep Ignoring.

Sometimes it just needs to be recognized that a problem isn’t going to go away until we start doing the hard work of solving it together.

That also wasn’t my point at all. I’m making no statement here about veganism. I’m saying 196 isn’t a vegan activism community and these bummer posts are obnoxious.
